Overview

Photos and Description of this Mendoza holiday villa

5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 service bathroom, sleeps 10 to 12

Following the tradition of wine-country villas in Italy and France, Villa Viamonte is open to guests interested in enjoying a memorable experience in the magnificent wine region of Mendoza, Argentina, where Malbec is the iconic grape and wine.

Villa Viamonte is a rare old Spanish-style estate and one of the region’s great traditional homes, with 2 double en suite bedrooms, an office/reading room, open-style sitting and dining area, breakfast nook, a laundry room and a large fully-equipped kitchen and pantry in over 6,000 square feet of well maintained living space. The house sits on nearly 2 walled acres of lawn and gardens that include a huge swimming pool and a large entertainment house (Quincho) suitable for cooking classes, wine tastings or meetings. Two double bedrooms, each with private bathroom provide additional modest accommodation.

Villa Viamonte is an ideal home-away-from-home for families or groups who are considering a visit to Argentina’s renowned wine region.

Beautiful villa to relax and explore Mendoza from

We were 2 families visiting from Canada (10 in total) and found this incredible villa through Homeaway. Turns out it's owned by a Canadian wine making family, which provided an extra special connection. We had originally booked for 3 nights and upon arrival immediately requested an additional night, which was fortunately possible. What an amazing home right in the middle of Mendoza wine region. We were able to walk to several wineries and restaurants from the house and everything else is easily accessible by car. The property is very well maintained, very spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. Ann recommended a visit to Clos de Chacras winery, which is a pleasant walk from the house. Wow, what a gem and the lunch we had was absolutely superb. Villa Viamonte is an easy 10 out of 10 and I can't wait to go back.

Spacious villa on beautiful lot on the outskirts of Mendoza

I recently stayed at Villa Viamonte with 5 of my friends. While the villa is spacious and on a very nice lot with a giant pool. The architecture and grounds really are great! People should be aware it is not super close to town and taxis are limited so you may need a car or car service to get around. That said, the town of Chacras de Coria is a walkable town with plenty of restaurants - all within walking distance to the villa. The villa also provided great proximity to wineries in the Lujan de Cuya and Miapu regions. Back to the villa...The ability to speak Spanish is immensely helpful as the people who live onsite and take care of the property do not speak any English. Using Google translate, we were able to arrange for them to prepare a traditional asado for us and it was fabulous...so much food! Some of the issues we experienced include:

- villa wasn't stocked well with toilet paper, bath towels or any drinking water

- some ant problems (live and dead)

- no dryer as listing indicated (not a big deal unless it rains the entire time you are there like it did for us)

- the villa was a bit musty (especially the bedrooms and office, which we used as a bedroom)

- door keys all hung unlabeled on a board in the kitchen so finding specific keys when needed was challenging

- villa cleaning did not happen during our stay as indicated at booking

Finally, make sure to get a local contact number for the onsite staff so you can contact them in an emergency. We had two such occasions - 1, we were given the wrong physical address for the villa so without a contact number we had to search the street door-to-door to find the correct villa and 2, the security gate/door wouldn't close one day. Since the staff were away for the day (it was a Sunday) and didn't answer their door, we were forced to email the property owner in Canada for help. This was not efficient and cost us several hours each day just trying to get help.

Overall, we had a wonderful time in Mendoza and at the villa which really is its own private oasis.

This lovely villa, set in well kept grounds with swimming pool, provided us with a refuge and place to enjoy each other. Within walking distance of shops including pastries, fruits and vegetables, meats, restaurants, etc. We stayed 3 nights - stay longer and use it as a base to explore the Mendoza area. The owner is in Canada but has a caretaker on site.

Amazing Villa... amazing vacation

Loved VIlla Viamonte. Great location and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The pool is huge!

Shopping for food is literally steps away. We are a group that cooks so we were thrilled with how easy it was to visit the butcher, the bakery, the general grocery store etc. Combine that with the service levels provided by Bruno and his team and it was a perfect vacation.

Many thanks to Michelle as well for all her hard work. Special mention to Oscar and Maruca as well.
